Got this today So stoked! Theses be going in this weekend! Now just waiting on fronts
-
Today was Christmas, Easter, and my birthday all in one!!! Car finally got paint! Sitting on its bump stops Here it goes!!!
-
Been playing around setting up me pedal box and everything around it. My clutch pedal hit against the steering mount on the fire wall So hello grinder And it goes down now. Very tight fit though Also when I got sick of looking at pedals I got my diff looking like new. I've put my crossmember in and chucked in some old bugged shocks on cuties up front to make it mobile till I get my new adjusties!
-
Interior is all painted nice black And installed my pedal box And there's a brace that goes along the roof. That's same color as cars going Also brought a remote thermostat housing so wire wheeled that (and my fingers) to get rid of rust and smashed some paint on it Also looking at buying some adjusties for the rear off techno toy tuning. For around $700 There a direct bolt it. If anyone has and cheaper ideas or feedback on these could you let me know?
-
I've been working on my pedal bracket every now and then. And think I've finally finished it (Yes it looks a lot like kpr's one, that's cause I asked how he made his)
-
Today I sanded my engine bay. Gotta love sanding!! And then sprayed it About 5 minutes fresh outa the gun!
-
So today I started making a mount for my pedal box But it's actually really hard to do. I stopped after this as I relished I needed to do some design work and plan it out. My goal I'd for it too look like kpr's one and also use it as a steering mount If anyone could help me out in any way. Would be choice I'm not sure how to choose where to mount the box and how to work out all the different lengths etc
-
Well. Today was much like Christmas Got my pedal box And got my rocker covers painted at work There really sparkly and more purple than pink. Haa So now my challenge is to mount pedal. Box. Anyone have any ideas or where I could buy some metal? I generally use scrap that's lying around but need good stuff :/
-
So haven't done much as waiting on my pedal box and I sand all week at work so not what I want to do in the weekend So today I tackled an old problem I have 3 bonnets and none fit. They all sit to far back and rub on my water drain bit So took the hinges out and what do you know. They don't match http://i.imgur.com/7owqMTv.jpg[/img So going to cut and weld them to make them longer New angle Weld weld weld What weld? And what do you know. They now match! Wasn't as hard to do as I thought either
-
Got engine bay primed Didn't come out to good as I used a pressure pot, not gravity feed gun so couldn't slap it on as thick.
-
Right so now were up to today. I've been grinding and welding sand bogging my engine bay for the last week. And this is it. Almost ready for primer
-
So for this next bit I don't have any photos sorry So I took it for a warrant cert and it failed on diff had rubbed hole in exhuast Steering rack ends. And other silly things like horn. As I was fixing these up I found rust. The more I looked. The more rust I found. And I had already done I little dodgy fiberglass repair. I wasnt sure what to do about it as I'm not the best at welding and couldn't be bother painting it(even though I'm a painter) One morning driving to work I went a bit fast round a round about and slid it out. Hit the curbed snapped an axle and bent my mag This is when I decided imay as well start all over again. I sold the 4k and box out of my other starlet and started stripping it out for paint. My plan is to get this shell done and swap everything over. I plan to put itbs on my engine. Which I have. And a link g1 which I also have acquired along with a loom for a 4agze.
-
So this was engine bay before I changed gasket And I don't have any of after as it is now. But here is one of putting in together Once together it went very well But unfortunately I cannot get it correctly tuned as the ecu isn't wired in properly
-
I can't see anything. Haha. I think it's cause I'm on an iPad. I'll try the computer latter. Thank you all for your help
-
Sweet. Thanks. It's not. Will explain more latter. How do I add an image directly rather than a link?

Just thought I'd start a build of my starlet/s So I brought this starlet Had a 4age red top t50 Was told just needed driveshaft loop for cert On way home. Gearbox blew up Found out it was cause the previous owner put the wrong shims in the gearbox and leaked all the oil. A week after putting new gearbox in Head gasket blew This poto was on the way home from Auckland. Note the tow rope.

Sorry if this is wrong. New and thought I'd give it a shot
